As a church we’re about Bridging Relationships to pursue the life adventure of following Jesus together. Our kids (the next generation) matter and we are excited to invest in refreshing and updating the Kids Min spaces in the coming months. Several things will be happening:
- Kids Min (birth – grade 5) will be in one centralized area.
- A new outdoor area will allow all families to check in via new kiosks.
- Rooms will be refreshed/remodeled to be open-concept, and upgraded with new paint and flooring.

PRAY
The Kids Ministry Upgrade project is huge – and complex. We are looking for prayer warriors who will join us on the journey to completion!
Right now, we’d love for you to pray:
- For wisdom as we navigate the realities of construction. Help us to find the right people at the right time for every aspect, from demolition to carpeting, painting and furnishing the refurbished rooms.
- For creative solutions to unforeseen issues that will allow us to stay within budget.
- For blessings — that God will bless the volunteers and contractors as they work.
- For the end result: That God will use the spaces to transform the hearts of children and volunteers.
Check out the prayer prompts for each space. These prayer prompts help give you an idea of what will be happening in each space so you can pray more specifically for the future ministry here.

FAQ
Why are we upgrading our Kids Min spaces?
After many awesome years of ministry, our Kids Min facilities are showing signs of age and wear & tear. Because we value kids and families, we will be refreshing/upgrading the ground-floor areas, as well as making changes to accommodate different ages.
Currently, our Kids Ministry is spread out between the B and C buildings. This project makes it possible to bring all of Kids Ministry together in one centralized location, making it much simpler for families to check-in their kids.
How will this project be funded?
We expect this project to cost $100,000 and we are fundraising to meet the needs. However, we are committed to this project and what we do not raise will be covered from the reserve (savings) fund.
What about Little Lamb and/or other organizations that may want to use the space?
Our first priority is our Sunday Kids Ministry program. We enjoyed a long and successful partnership with Little Lamb and were sad to see it close. We are open to proposals from organizations that are interested in leasing out the space during the week in the future.
How long will the project take?
The target timeline is for all Kids Ministry to be in their new spaces by early 2025.
Who is doing the work?
We have contracted a construction company to do the skilled labor and are asking volunteers to help with furniture removal, painting and removal of old fixtures and cabinets. If you would like to roll up your sleeves and help, sign up here: https://forms.gle/QFujigDWRV7nqaiA6
How can I give financially?
We welcome your financial support for this project, as it will allow us to continue to upgrade not only Kids Ministry spaces, but other spaces here at Bridges. You can donate HERE.
What if I have other questions?
We welcome questions! We may not have all the answers, but we are happy to share details, as this is a project we are taking on together, in partnership with you. Submit your questions HERE
